INFLECT, INC. ET AL VS. SOLANA FOUNDATION ET AL

Matter on Calendar for Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Line 4, DEFENDANT SOLANA FOUNDATION'S MOTION TO QUASH SERVICE OF SUMMONS OR STAY OR DISMISS.

Continued to August 20, 2025, on the court's own motion.

A motion to quash service of summons is an unusual motion in that it requires no factual showing. Rather, when it is made, it shifts the burden to the plaintiff to show evidence that service was proper. Any evidence rebutting the plaintiff's factual showing is usually presented in reply. Here, significant new argument and evidence was adduced on reply.

The court grants leave to plaintiffs Inflect, Inc. to file a surreply of not more than 10 pages of briefing by August 13, 2025. Inflect must seek leave of the court (by ex parte is fine with proper notice to the specially appearing defendant) to file any surreply evidence, which in turn will trigger a surreply opportunity for the specially appearing defendant.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 301 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 301 Zoom ID 161 502 4290; Passcode 700956.)
